DesignUp ✊ Issue #101 > DesignUpForACause + Showcasing speakers Yuko Shimizu, Handsome Frank, Imaginary Forces + More

This is a special edition: less words, more visuals. But first, some words...

⏰ It's just 10 days to go for DesignUpForACause

Incredibly thankful for the generosity of so many contributors that we're inching to INRs 2.4 Million. That means oxygenators, isolation wards, dry rations, daily meals for rural India. Though twitter and social media is quieter - remember, rural India doesn't tweet and Covid catastrophe is spreading swiftly, and silently. Unlike wave 1, which was confined to urban India.

6 incredible inspiration filled days over 2 weekends. June 11-20 - keeping in mind multiple time zones. So do good and get inspired! And this year, it much much more than just Ux.

⏳ A conference in 6 weeks?

We usually take 8 moths to design one, this time we had 6 weeks - so incredibly proud of what our volunteer force has pulled off + the amazing generosity of our speakers who are happy to speak on weekends, odd hours, on their birthday or just before a move. So thankful...

See you at DesignUpForACause ✊
